TL;DR Summary

Two climate activists were arrested after throwing soup at the "Mona Lisa" in the Louvre Museum in Paris, advocating for a sustainable food system and protesting the farming system's impact on the environment. This incident follows previous art-related protests, including the smearing of cream cake on the painting in 2022. Similar protests have occurred at other art institutions, such as throwing mashed potatoes at Claude Monet's "Les Meules" in Germany and tomato soup at Vincent van Gogh's "Sunflowers" in London.
